What is the best type of paint for a front door?

What is the surface of the door? Wood? Metal? Any paint retailer will have the appropriate formula primer and paint for doors, make sure it has UV protection too. And clean thoroughly before priming!

The prep work done before painting is the MOST important part. 2nd is a good quality paint. A light sanding, a good primer, followed by a good quality paint. Myself, I like "Kils" oil base primer, an non oil base paint can be used on "Kils" as long as it's done in less than 7 days.

Rust-Oleum has a line of paint called Modern Masters Front Door Paint, lots of pretty colors. Several people that tried it said it was easy to use, and it syas it's fade-proof. https://www.modernmasters.com/landing/homeowners/brands/fdp

I used Rustoleum door paint in cranberry. Nice color and its been about 3 years since I did it and it still looks good.

ok...what is the door made of so the correct answer can be given

Rustolem sells an outdoor paint that is for all materials. That’s what I like to use.

I agree, Rustoleum makes really good and easy to use product.

I agree rust-oleum stops rust for metal.

Just know that when you paint the door and it is pristine looking.... the shutters on the house may beg for the same treatment.

We painted our door and shutters and it gave our 25 year old home a nice pick-me-up.

So, buy extra paint to make sure you can match it up if some other item begs for paint :)
